MORAGA, Calif. -- As dominant as Saint Marys has been at home over the past decade, Nevada coach Eric Musselman questioned why he even scheduled the game -- especially for the season opener.Thats what an NCAA Tournament team looks like, Musselman said. They never lose here. I shouldnt have scheduled the game. I dont really know what else to say. ... Ive been in this building too many times. We were not ready to play that type of competition.Jock Landale carried the momentum of his strong preseason into a memorable first career start, scoring a career-high 33 points to go with nine rebounds, leading No. 17 Saint Marys past Nevada 81-63 in the season opener for both schools Friday night.Landale, a 6-foot-11 Australian center, shot 15 for 20 and has shown in a hurry how much better he can be with a larger role for 15th-year coach Randy Bennett. He was the backup to Dane Pineau last season, typically the first man off the bench, then arrived for fall camp in better shape and determined. Pineau has been slowed by a back injury, giving Landale an opening.Hes our best scorer on the block, Bennett said. Im glad he played well because he put the work in. His freshman and sophomore year, he thought he let up at the end of the summer.This offseason, Landale dropped 20 pounds. He gave up bread, pasta and stuck to brown rice.I had to change my diet entirely, that was the big thing, he said. In the offseason, I cut out all that kind of stuff -- chocolate, lollies, soft drink, all that kind of stuff is gone.The Gaels shared the West Coast Conference regular-season title with Gonzaga last season but are determined to get back to the NCAA Tournament for the first time since 2013 after three straight years in the NIT.When Bennett was told of Musselmans postgame reaction about playing the Gaels, he grinned.I dont know why he did (schedule the game). Im glad he did, Bennett said, acknowledging his own nerves for this opponent. I cant remember a first game I was more stressed about.Marcus Marshall had 25 points while D.J. Fenner scored six straight Nevada points late in the first half and finished with 12.Landale made four of his first seven shots as Saint Marys jumped to an 18-12 lead on the way to a 42-29 halftime advantage at rocking McKeon Pavilion.This marked the Bay Area return of Musselman, the former Golden State Warriors and Sacramento Kings head coach beginning his second season in Reno. On his staff as a new assistant is Yann Hufnagel, fired late last season by California amid allegations of sexual harassment.Cameron Oliver -- from nearby Oakland -- had five blocks to go with 13 points for the Wolf Pack, who were the College Basketball Invitational tournament champions last season.Nevada hasnt beaten a ranked team in the regular season since taking down No. 6 Kansas on Dec. 21, 2003, and going on to reach the NCAA Tournaments Sweet 16.This was just the second meeting between the programs after the Wolf Pack won 76-58 on Dec. 12, 2006.OPENING NIGHT DOUBLEHEADERCalifornia held off the Gaels 74-67 in a womens game played first as the Golden Bears avenged a loss to Saint Marys last season that snapped their eight-game winning streak in the East Bay rivalry.BIG PICTURENevada: Musselman looks to build following a turnaround in his first year for a team that had gone 9-22 the previous season and improved into a 24-game winner that finished tied for fourth in the Mountain West Conference. ...

BUDAPEST, Hungary -- A Romanian weightlifter who won a bronze medal at the Rio de Janeiro Olympics could lose his medal after failing a doping test.Gabriel Sincraian, who won bronze in the mens 85-kilogram category in Rio, tested positive for excess testosterone, the International Weightlifting Federation said Thursday. The test was connected to the Olympics, the IWF said without specifying exactly when it was taken.An IWF statement originally listed Sincraian among a group of lifters who had been disqualified from the Olympics, but later clarified his case was not yet closed.There is no final decision as regards the measures and/or sanctions relating to (Sincraians) Rio Olympic Games participation yet, the IWF said.Decisions on Olympic disqualifications and medals are up to the International Olympic Committee.Sincraian returned last year from a two-year doping ban for the banned steroid stanozolol. He could face an eight-year ban for a second offense, in line with usual IWF practice.If the IOC decides to reallocate the medals, Sincraians bronze would pass to fourth-placed Denis Ulanov of Kazakhstan, whose entire team was almost banned from the Olympics over repeated drug test failures.ddddddddddddRomanian Weightlifting Federation president Nicu Vlad said Sincraian had been under a provisional suspension since Sept. 30 over the failed test, and that it could be linked to supplements he had been taking.He was asked if he still had (the supplements), because it would be good for them to be analyzed, and he said he didnt, Vlad told Romanian news agency Agerpres.The entire Bulgarian and Russian weightlifting teams were banned from competing in Rio due to repeated doping cases, while lifters from Poland, Taiwan, Cyprus and Mongolia failed tests either during or shortly before the games.Weightlifting has been rocked by dozens of failed drug tests from the 2008 and 2012 Olympics which turned up when samples were retested by the IOC this year using modern technology. More than 40 competitors have so far tested positive in those retests, including several gold medalists. In one event from 2012, the original ninth-place finisher is in line to receive a bronze medal because six athletes who finished above him have failed drug tests. ' ' '
